...and is for sale again  here (http://cgi.ebay.de/1982-Series11-Collectors-Alembic-4-string-Bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ7419769623QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWD4VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). Getting tired already ? In my opinion, this seller is a professional ebay fee payer. Any idea how to feed your kids with that profession ???

Christian, I think the kids are fed by profits made from sales of the bad breath/crotch itch remedy this person also sells.

ebay tries to collect fees after the auction has ended.  The chances of them not giving a stolen or otherwise fraudulent id to ebay to get this started is pretty slim indeed.

I got a phone message from the seller yesterday evening.  Not sure how he got my number (it may be in my eBay profile).  Very strange.

i requested pictures from the seller and he has been sending them with his contact information.  i'll post these if anyone requests.  there was a shot of the build sheet in there.
 
the US auction is : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7419769623&fromMakeTrack=true (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7419769623&fromMakeTrack=true)
 
while he's apparently trying to look legit, there's something that smells bad here.  price is pretty outta line too, imho...

At that price, I'll sell the loser (or are they both losers?) mine, and buy two AND have the electronics on at least one of them upgraded.  This can't be real.
